Keisha Eaddy spent much of her childhood sitting in the stands, cheering on her brother, Davon Smith. Seven years younger than Smith, Eaddy watched hundreds of his basketball games, from recreation leagues through his varsity career at Oakland Mills. She was more than just another face in the crowd, however. Eaddy internalized every pass, screen, drive to the basket, box-out and half-court trap. It wasn't long before she was applying what she learned. When she was 9, in her first year of organized competition, Eaddy displayed skills beyond her years, as spectators quickly learned not to take their eyes off the diminutive playmaker.

A Severn teenager will be sentenced to 15 years in prison as a result of his plea yesterday in the fatal shooting a 15-year-old runaway girl for no apparent reason. Deante Littlejohn, 17, entered an Alford plea to second-degree murder before Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Philip T. Caroom, meaning that he did not admit guilt but conceded that prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him of shooting Keisha Lane on Aug. 17, 2005. The girl had run away from foster care in Hagerstown to the home of a friend near Severn.

Every time Keisha Todd hits the floor, Northwestern girls basketball coach Dwayne Burroughs can't help but wince.Todd just gets up and jumps right back into the action. Even though she suffered a serious knee injury in a game last year that sidelined her for nine months, the Wildcats senior doesn't think about getting hurt.L Burroughs, on the other hand, can't help but think about it."I'm more worried about it more than she is," said Burroughs. "A lot of kids, usually it bothers them, but with Keisha, she just goes out and plays -- and whatever happens happens.

Seton Keough's Keisha Blackwell draws a lot of inspiration from the tattoo on her left shoulder.The tattoo is a basketball, an appropriate choice for a 1999 Street & Smith's preseason honorable mention All-American. But there is more to this tattoo.The basketball has a halo around it with name of her brother Kyle inscribed underneath. Kyle was killed in a freak accident five years ago.Keisha and her brothers were playing in their grandmother's backyard that day. She was 11. Twins Kyle and Keith were 10. Despite their grandmother's warning to stay off her deteriorating back porch, Kyle ran onto the porch to ask his grandmother's permission to walk the dog. The porch collapsed.

The River Hill Hawks are 25-0, ranked No. 1 and headed to the state semifinals. And there are two primary reasons for their success -- Brittany Gordon and Keisha Eaddy. Gordon, a 6-foot-4 senior center headed to Delaware on a basketball scholarship, is a vocal leader who dominates the post, runs the floor well, and stands out at rebounding and shot-blocking. Eaddy, a 5-6 junior point guard being scouted by Temple, is a leader by example who excels at passing and driving to the basket, using her vision and athleticism.

A 16-year-old from Severn has been indicted on first-degree murder and a related charge in the fatal shooting of a runaway teenage girl and the wounding of her companion. The indictment against Deante Littlejohn was unsealed yesterday, according to a spokeswoman for the Anne Arundel County state's attorney's office. The teenager is being held without bail at the Anne Arundel County Detention Center. Keisha Lane, 15, of Hagerstown was fatally shot Aug. 17 in a community near Fort Meade.

Three weeks into the girls basketball season and a few things are clear in Howard County. It's all about the guards this season; three-time defending champ River Hill with All-Metro senior guard Keisha Eaddy looks a notch above the rest; and any of a number of teams - including Mount Hebron, Atholton and Long Reach - could emerge to present a challenge. Which team moves to the front is the most interesting question. Mount Hebron (5-0) is off to a fast start with an impressive 55-32 win over Atholton last Wednesday serving as its high mark to date.

Freshman Kristen Malloy began her indoor track season on the right foot as she guided Hereford to a win in the Western Indoor Track Classic at CCBC-Catonsville on Saturday.

Malloy anchored the 3,200 relay team, which won in a time of 10:52. She also finished second in the 800 (2:40.7) and 1,600 (5:32.4) runs. "She's probably one of our most impressive girls on the team," coach Sam Bowen said.

The phrase "the other side" in the title of Carol Weinberg's play, "To Get to the Other Side," refers to maturity, self-knowledge, identity -- or, in more literal terms, the other side of childhood.Weinberg's play, being presented by the Spotlighters as part of the Baltimore Playwrights Festival, is a dual coming-of-age story. It traces the friendship of two teen-age girls -- one white and the other black -- from high school through college and into young adulthood.Despite its sprawling seven-year time span and numerous settings, "To Get to the Other Side" is one of the best realized productions in what has been, for the most part, a rather disappointing festival.

Just in time for Independence Day, the Maryland Ensemble Theatre has revived Democracy: A Work in Progress, a show that the Frederick-based company debuted last fall as a prelude to the presidential election. Created collaboratively, then scripted by Don Thompson and directed and designed by Tad Janes, Democracy - at Johns Hopkins University's Mattin Center - uses a series of skits, images, movement and projections to offer a selective survey of democracy from the time of the ancient Greeks onward.

LAUREL, Del. - Before dawn Thursday, a dark and frightening vigil took place in Teresa DeShields' tidy apartment as her daughter's boyfriend fell apart. For seven hours, DeShields, daughter Keisha, 25, and a friend watched Allison Lamont Norman cry and writhe on the living room floor. Norman spoke of wanting to kill his mother and a man who he said had repeatedly molested him as a child. "He fell on the floor and said, 'Help me, help me,'" DeShields said yesterday. "He just lay there, moaning and groaning."
